The Heavenly Hosts

"The mightiest souls of all time hover o'er us,
Who laboured like Gods amongst men, and have gone
Like great bursts of sun, on the dark way before us,
They are with us, still with us, our battles fight on."

Emma Hardinge-Britten

This lady was one of the greatest pioneers of Spiritualism. As well as being a fine trance medium and inspirational speaker herself, she knew all the leading mediums of the day in both America and England. Tomorrow I will include an extract from her autobiography in which she describes the circumstances when she received from Spirit a set of Spiritual Commandments given by Robert Owen, the great social reformer. These later became the Seven Principles of the British Spiritualists' National Union.
